Production information

Producer: Vietti

Vietti was one of the first Barolo wineries to export its products to the USA and was also one of the first to select and vinify grapes from single vineyards. Now it's one of the first rank of Barolo producers in the world.

Production note

Only the best Moscato grapes with extended maturation are used for the Cascinetta wine. The grapes are crushed, pressed and then naturally clarified. The grape must is stored at low temperatures in order to naturally halt fermentation.

The world’s largest producer this year, Italy has been dubbed one of the main ‘winners’ of 2016, with the country enjoying slightly better growing conditions than its European counterparts. Despite being the biggest producer, Italy’s harvest is still down around 2%, while quality is generally good.

Generally, the outlook is positive for growers across Italy this year, with good rain in the early part of the season offset by blazing heat in July. Over the growing season, there was minimal stress to vines and following the 2014 vintage, many growers were glad to just have something to harvest.
